prepared: To the hotel propriet0rs and
business men of Florida. The hotel pro-
prietors OF st. Augustine issue this circu-
lar to call your attention to the serious
fact that the greatly reduced rates to Cal
iiornia made by the Northern and West
ern railroads this season are proving
ruinous to the interests of Florida. I'm
mediate and decisive action must be taken
to remedy this condition of affairs by the
united action of all interested in the
prosperity OF this State, by petItioning
the railroad and steamship companies
controlling Florida travel to make CORE
spOndingly reduced rates. You are there
held in Jacksonville on Wednesday, Jan.
IL, at 2 p. M, to consider this matter.

Pensacola Commercial: An unfortu-
nate lady, said to DE Mrs. Collins from
Clinton, Miss, reached this city last Sun
day and stopped at the City Hotel, paying
for night and a day in advance. She
said she was travelling and selling a book
af pOems, written by her husband, who
she said has been dead now for some years;
though lady-like in her department and
speech, her Eighty manner and strange
way of talking showed that her mind was
affected TO greater or less degree. On
Monday she left the hotel and took room
at private boarding house, but Wednes-
day morning made her appearance on the
streets so completely out of her mind as to
cause Marshal Roberts to take the matter
in hand and place her under surveillance,
though not as prisoner. In her lucid
intervals she gave the names of her rela-
tives, and a brother, who was wired her
condition, asked that she be sent to
New Orleans where he would meet her.
Capt. Chipley furnished her transporta-
ton and the unfortunate lady left on the
1920 train Wednesday night very
anxious to get to New Orleans, where 1t is
hoped she arrived safely and is now in
the hands OF her friends.
